@hooroo Probably need two refs, too. And 4 ARs.
6,7&8's heads would explode. Follow the ball for linking play or go on defense!!

Imagine how the refs would handle simultaneous scoring.
Worse still imagine TJ and Marshall calling it.Nisbo would be sitting in the corner of the commentary box crying cos his head hurt too much.

Clarke will have a 3 week holiday surely?
Blues said they will fight suspension.

I'd say why bother, but as we've seen with the Banks' red card, why not fight it? The interesting aspect about player safety is if Clarke got a finger to the ball, it would just be an unfortunate incident.

I thought the head went into the thigh as well - quite different to the knee. Hopefully they have good footage of it; clearly a reckless jump, but it'd be pretty rough to cop teh same suspension as Nepo.

@nzzp and surely a red card for a reckless challenge is punishment enough.
you cannot bring rationality to the judici-lotto
It's a strange one though and I'm sure that the lawyers will be onto it. WRs 'Head Contact Process' specifically states...
*The process can be applied to:
High tackles
Shoulder charges
Dangerous cleanouts
Head-to-head collisions
Leading elbow / forearm*So this is none of those. The Process also has an aside that -
The Head Contact Process is a Law Application Guideline. Under 9.11, the referee is always entitled to issue a red or yellow card for anything deemed to be reckless or dangerous. However, this process is intended to aid consistency in the application of sanctions by providing guidance on how contact with the head should be approached by match officials and disciplinary personnel.
LAW 9: Foul play
- Players must not do anything that is reckless or dangerous to others including leading with the elbow or forearm.
So for consistency the refs decided that the contact meets 9.11 and that if the same sanction application as tackles is applied "for consistency" then it meets a RC.
For me the argument is whether the act of jumping to block a kick met a high level of danger or was a highly reckless act.
Defence will argue that it was a normal act of the game that ended up badly (accident). Jumping into the path of a running player holds more danger for the jumper and it was simply bad luck that direct contact was made to the head. Anythng other than direct contact would have been a YC . To me there needs to be a high probability of direct contact to the head for it to be reckless.But it's the judiciary.

Check this out (excluding Sunday's match) there have been 5 red cards & 5 yellow cards seen across the last 5 Super Rugby fixtures. A red card in the last 5 consecutive matches:
